In a must-win game for both sides, Belgium shook off two lacklustre displays to start the tournament and showed their superiority from the first whistle in Vancouver. Trossard opened the scoring in the 28th minute as New Zealand allowed a Kevin de Bruyne corner to bounce in the six-yard box, allowing the Arsenal forward to finish from close range after the ball had bounced off the back of defender Tim Payne. Rudi Garcia's side could have been out of sight by half-time but it was not until five minutes after the break that they got their second. De Bruyne punched a pass into Trossard, his first shot was blocked but he volleyed the follow-up in smartly at the near post. The result was put beyond doubt in the 66th minute when De Bruyne drilled a crisp left-foot shot into the bottom corner from 20 yards. New Zealand got a goal back as Elijah Just thumped in his third goal of the tournament but Belgium's three-goal lead was restored moments later as Romelu Lukaku headed in just 56 seconds after coming off the bench. Another substitute, Alexis Saelemaekers, added an extra shine to the scoreline as he slotted in the fifth in injury time. With Egypt failing to beat Iran, Belgium top Group G on goal difference and will face a third-placed team in the last 32 on Wednesday (21:00 BST). Meanwhile, New Zealand bow out of their third World Cup after taking just one point from three games.

The Lions of Teranga finished third in Group I with three points to climb to fifth among third-placed teams, but they will still need results elsewhere to go their way to secure a place in the last 32. Senegal played a near-perfect game in Toronto as they looked to bounce back from defeats by France and Norway, and the result pushed Scotland down to ninth in the table of third-placed sides - with eight to advance to the next round. That did not mean Scotland's hopes were absolutely at an end, as later games could still influence their standing, but they were rapidly fading. Fast-starting Senegal opened the scoring after only four minutes. Abdoulaye Seck's header from a corner took a decisive deflection off Sunderland midfielder Habib Diarra on its way past Iraq goalkeeper Ahmed Basil. Iraq's problems were compounded nine minutes later when referee Anthony Taylor sent off defender Rebin Sulaka for pulling down Sadio Mane at the edge of the penalty area - deeming it denial of a goalscoring opportunity after a video assistant referee review. Mane tested Basil from the resulting free-kick, but Pape Thiaw's side, who needed goals to improve their goal difference and thereby their chances of progressing to the next stage, failed to register another shot on target in the first half. But they capitalised on former Manchester United midfielder Zidane Iqbal giving away possession at the edge of the box as Lamine Camara cut the ball back for Ismaila Sarr to apply a simple finish to make it 2-0 in the 56th minute. Their lead was extended three minutes later as Pape Gueye curled a left-foot strike into the top corner - his first involvement after coming on moments earlier. Villarreal defensive midfielder Gueye added his second goal with another thunderous effort in the 71st minute before fellow substitute Iliman Ndiaye sealed the 5-0 win, that they would hope will be enough to send them through to the knockout stage.

Pre-match hopes that this game would be an epic showdown between Erling Haaland and Kylian Mbappe were quashed by the arrival of the teamsheets. Norway manager Stale Solbakken made 10 changes after two group victories, including resting Manchester City forward Haaland. But into the narrative void stepped Dembele, who delivered the second-fastest men's World Cup hat-trick ever with three goals of the purest quality. It was the first time a player had scored three goals in the opening half of a match in the tournament since Russia's Oleg Salenko in 1994. And it was the second-quickest World Cup hat-trick ever from the start of a match, behind Erich Probst's 24-minute treble in 1954 for Austria. France assistant coach Guy Stephan, who led the team with manager Didier Deschamps having returned home following the death of his mother, said Dembele had been in part inspired by criticism from the French media. "Ousmane is a human being, just like anyone he can hear the criticism," Stephan said. "He has unfortunately had injury issues but every time he comes back harder and harder. Three goals in a World Cup game is exceptional." France completely dominated the early stages and deservedly broke through in the seventh minute. Having won the ball in Norway's half, Mbappe spread it wide right to Dembele in space. The Ballon d'Or winner squared up his marker and slammed home past Egil Selvik. It was 2-0 in the 20th minute when Dembele completed a lightning counter-attack by cutting off the right-hand side on to his wizardly left foot and whipped a curling shot into the far corner. Norway struck back within 79 seconds, the French defence declining to respond to an attack straight from the kick-off which ended in Rangers attacker Thelo Aasgaard sweeping the ball past a wrong-footed Mike Maignan. But Dembele was far from done, as he moved himself into contention as the tournament's top scorer with his fourth goal. Again he cut on to his left foot and, with four surrounding defenders paralysed by fear, curled another effort past Norway reserve keeper Selvik. Dembele was subbed off after 65 minutes as the tempo dropped after the break, but his Paris St-Germain team-mate Desire Doue stepped up to add a fourth in the 94th minute with a looping header.

Shoja Khalilzadeh turned home after a goalmouth scramble but his effort was disallowed following a lengthy video assistant referee check, while Saeid Ezatolahi headed against the woodwork in the seventh minute of added time. Wild celebrations had followed Khalilzadeh putting the ball in the net, with the defender removing his shirt - for which he was later booked - and posing for a photograph with a pair of sunglasses. His, and Iran's, joy was short-lived, though. Iran, who have drawn all three of their group matches, remain in with a chance of reaching the World Cup knockout phase for the first time ever as a best third-placed qualifier. Their hopes now rest on the outcomes of Groups J, K and L, while Egypt finished second in Group G. Results in other groups earlier in the day had already confirmed Egypt's progression to the last 32 before kick-off, although it was possible for them to finish first, second or third in the group. Belgium went through as group winners, courtesy of their victory against New Zealand. In an eventful start, Egypt took the lead in the fifth minute when Mahmoud Saber shot through a crowd of players to open the scoring. Iran produced a fine response and although Mehdi Taremi's penalty was saved by Mostafa Shobeir, they found an equaliser shortly afterwards when Ramin Rezaeian smashed in a rebound from a tight angle. Captain Mohamed Salah, needing one more goal to equal his head coach Hossam Hassan's all-time scoring record for Egypt, was substituted after 57 minutes. Before the dramatic finale, Taremi had headed against the bar from a corner in the closing stages, although the referee blew for a foul so it may not have counted had he found the net.

European champions Spain were already practically guaranteed a place in the last 32 before kick-off, but Alex Baena's strike late in the first half meant they topped Group H and will face the runners-up of Group J. Uruguay's miserable night was completed when midfielder Agustin Canobbio was sent off in stoppage time for a high challenge on Pau Cubarsi. Bielsa's side needed a positive result to secure progression, but defeat meant them suffered a second successive World Cup group stage exit with two points from three games. Spain took the lead in the 42nd minute after weathering a period of Uruguay pressure, when Baena swiveled and beat Muslera with a low shot despite the 40-year-old goalkeeper getting two hands on the ball. Uruguay were unhappy that their opponents did not put the ball out of play in the build-up to the goal when Manuel Ugarte went down following what appeared an innocuous challenge. The Manchester United midfielder received treatment before leaving the pitch on a stretcher. After making his third error leading to a goal in as many games, Muslera - who was making his 137th appearance - was replaced at half-time with Sergio Rochet. The change made little difference as Spain took control of the second half but could not find a second goal. Uruguay made a late push to save their tournament, but in truth never seriously tested Spain goalkeeper Unai Simon. Former Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez, restored to the starting XI, missed two presentable opportunities in two minutes shortly after the first-half hydration break. Bielsa's side were in the ascendency until Muslera's error, but it was not until the final 10 minutes that they began to test Simon. Spain substitute Ferran Torres hit the crossbar late on, as Spain were able to see out their second win of the tournament, the first time they have achieved that at a World Cup since winning it 2010.
